                    The Lights Along the Shore
To me, lighthouses are among the most charming of man-made structures.  Their unique and essential purpose makes each one a thing of exquisite beauty.  Seafarers seeking a haven on a stormy night find a beam from the shore as precious as life itself.  Perhaps Philip

                    Consider Bill, who was just a young man at the time. He had tried preaching, but didn’t always feel the power of God or see any results.  One of his contemporaries, Charles Templeton, got into academia and started to believe scripture as flawed and outdated. Bill wondered about all of this. A

                    It is said that when the famous missionary, Dr. David Livingstone, started his trek across Africa he had 73 books in 3 packs, weighing 180 pounds. 
After the party had gone 300 miles, Livingstone was obliged to throw away some of the books because of the fatigue of those carrying his baggage.

                    Do we have any of the originals of the Bible's 66 books? NO. Not 1.
But, we do have enough pieces of the cross to build several crosses, and enough other relics to rebuild several sacred objects several times over. Get the point? Anytime something of religious significance survives the ages,

                    In 1947, Muhammad adh-Dhib, a twelve-year-old Arab boy, made one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. While looking for a lost goat in Qumran, near the Dead Sea, he threw a stone into a cave and heard the sound of shattering pottery. Curious about the noise, he entered the cave

This poem is figurative in a sense.  I look at the early glimmer of light in the east as the sun soon will rise.  Then it increases until it is full day with the bright shining sun.
What the poem does is begin with the harbinger of the dawn in

Christians regard the bible as the inspired word of God and as the sole rule for faith and doctrine. That makes the bible the most important resource available to us.  It is a most treasured possession.  There are many references
